　　My name is Sheila. I think it’s opening up to the British community what the traditional cultures are in China. I think it’s a very good thing. I’m very interested in the whole Chinese culture, the health arts, and the painting. And I’m a student of Chinese painting myself. I’m really learning and it’s nice to see the demonstrations from two very good experts here. Yes, I mean, we understand that the calligraphy is the big thing. So, you use all the calligraphy strokes in all your painting. And the philosophy behind what you leave out is much more important, it’s the precious space.
